Structural versatility of the quasi-aromatic Mobius type zinc(ii)-pseudohalide complexes - experimental and theoretical investigations.

ABSTRACT: In this contribution we report for the first time fabrication, isolation, structural and theoretical characterization of the quasi-aromatic Möbius complexes [Zn(NCS)₂L^I] (1), [Zn₂(μ_1,1-N₃)₂(L^I)₂][ZnCl₃(MeOH)]₂·6MeOH (2) and [Zn(NCS)L^II]₂[Zn(NCS)₄]·MeOH (3), constructed from 1,2-diphenyl-1,2-bis((phenyl(pyridin-2-yl)methylene)hydrazono)ethane (L^I) or benzilbis(acetylpyridin-2-yl)methylidenehydrazone (L^II), respectively, and ZnCl₂ mixed with NH₄NCS or NaN₃. Structures 1-3 are dictated by both the bulkiness of the organic ligand and the nature of the inorganic counter ion. As evidenced from single
